Questionnaire

Use this checklist to reflect on symptoms, timing, and factors commonly discussed when people ask about Levitra (vardenafil). Answer honestly and note anything that concerns you.

  • Have you experienced difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection on more than one occasion?
  • Have these difficulties persisted for at least 4–8 weeks?
  • Do erections improve sometimes (for example, during sleep or with certain partners) but not others?
  • Have you noticed reduced firmness compared to previous months or years?
  • Do stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns seem to trigger the problem?
  • Have you been diagnosed with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease?
  • Do you smoke, vape, or use nicotine regularly?
  • How often do you drink alcohol (more than moderate amounts per week)?
  • Are you taking medications that may affect sexual function (e.g., antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)?
  • Have you ever been advised to avoid nitrate medications or had chest pain with exertion?
  • Do you experience side effects like headaches, flushing, or nasal congestion with similar medicines?
  • Have you had pelvic surgery, prostate treatment, or significant genital injury?
  • Is there a family history of cardiovascular disease at a young age?
  • Have you tried lifestyle changes (sleep, exercise, weight management) without improvement?
  • Do symptoms cause distress, avoidance of intimacy, or reduced quality of life?

How to interpret answers

This is a general guide—no single answer confirms or rules out a condition.

  • Low reason to seek help: Occasional issues tied to temporary stress, fatigue, or alcohol; symptoms are infrequent and improving.
  • Medium reason to seek help: Recurrent symptoms over several weeks, mixed triggers, or impact on confidence/relationships.
  • High reason to seek help: Persistent symptoms, known cardiovascular risk factors, medication interactions, or significant distress.

Next steps: what to do

  1. Self‑monitor: Note when symptoms occur, severity, and any triggers.
  2. Record health data: Blood pressure, blood sugar (if relevant), sleep, and exercise patterns.
  3. Review medications: List all prescriptions, OTC drugs, and supplements.
  4. Choose a specialist: Start with a primary care physician; they may refer to a urologist or cardiologist.
  5. Prepare questions: Ask about benefits/risks of Levitra, alternatives, dosing, and interactions.
  6. Lifestyle focus: Address smoking, alcohol, weight, and stress management.
  7. Follow up: Reassess after any changes or treatment adjustments.
